I'm not sure the Installfest (where time is limited, and installs can take
a while) is the best place to be demoing flavors of linux.

At least, not to the people who have RSVPd and brought their hardware in.
Maybe we could have a machine up for non-RSVPd people to play with,
hands-on, without any assistance from the busy installfest volunteers.

Then they can RSVP and come again, to the next month's installfest, to
actually get something installed.

SERIOUSLY. :)

And I'm happy to link to as many of those as you'd like me to,
on the IF webpage. :)
